Need HELP Irritrol RD-PLUS-INT

Newbie girl here LOL
I have an Irritrol Rain Dial Plus. It has been working just fine since its initial install 1999. Now it is no longer coming on per the program. I can run it in the 'manual' mode just fine. I have unplugged and looked inside where the board is to see if I can visualize any evidence of 'burned' relays or wires or poor connections and nothing obvious to me. I went ahead and replaced the 9v battery and re-set the time for approx. 30 min later in order to test. It still didn't work.
Any ideas???

Does it make sense that the problem is most likely the controller since the system runs fine in 'manual'? If so, I can purchase a new controller. Thanks again!

I am trying something else....unplugged, pulled battery, tightened any loose screws holding wires in place (there were none loose other than for #12 because I only have 11 zones). I will leave it with NO power for a min. of 10 min. and then I will try again.
